How to Select the Most Promising Research Problem for Your Thesis/DissertationDoctoralNet Limited
How to select your thesis or dissertation topic and research problem is discussed. Criteria to guide such selection are presented and exercises to apply them included.
The SQ4R method of reading is a tried and true method that is always useful. In this presentation you will learn why you should use this method and how to apply it effectively.I would like to thank my students for assisting with this presentation.
Six steps to help you select your research topicSets India
Are you one of the rare souls interested in research? Do you like the idea of planning an entire study and then sharing your findings with the whole world? Well, if you are a researcher, then you must know that planning and executing a study is not child’s play.
And the first and most time-consuming step of conducting research is selecting a research topic. Without a research question to answer, there will be no research, but finding a research question that you and a larger population would want an answer to is by far the most taxing task a researcher might come across.

Introduction to Environmental Science
FINAL PROJECT
The learning objectives for this class are the following:
-understand the basic environmental processes that shape the natural world around them.
-evaluate the reciprocal relationship between human and environmental systems.
-consider environmental problems from both a global and a local perspective.
-understand the impact of human decisions on the natural environment (both positive and negative).
-understand some of the ways in which scientists gather information, as well as, analyze and communicate their findings.
Everything we did in class was aimed at improved your understanding and skill related to these learning objectives. I don’t want you all to leave as scientists, but I want you to be able to navigate scientific information related to environmental issues with some understanding and ability to take it apart and use it to make well-informed decisions.
The final project is designed to give you the opportunity to reflect the improvement in your understanding and skill and to consider your relationship to the environment. For this project, you will select a behavior that you engage in, that has an impact on the environment. This behavior will be the foundation of a research question that investigate and use to inform your perspective on this particular environmental beha ...

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
